填空-陈圣元 (1-2 errors, 5-6 minutes per section)
法则:答案会在原句中重复。
重复的基本规则:点对点:空格与中心词对应重复。
注意:最难的词永远在不需要阅读的部分,只关心空格与中心词的逻辑关系。 解题策略:1.分析句子结构 ? 2.定位中心词和确知逻辑关系 ? 3.选词。 读题策略:先读主干,再读分隔。分隔指主干之外的一切成分。 解题方法:分隔与粘连
一、分隔:重复信息出现在分隔成分和主干中。
分隔结构包括定语从句、同位语从句、分词结构、大的介词短语。 分隔结构通常是其前面空格的答案;
It has been argued that politics as ___, whatever its transcendental claims, has always been the systematic organization of common hatreds. (c)
(a)a theory (b)an ideal (c)a practice (d)a contest (e)an enigma Note: transcendental claims ?? a practice
或者分隔中具有空格,则应从分隔前的结构中找寻信息。
In a most impressive demonstration, Pavarotti sailed through Verdi’s “Celeste Aida”, normally a tenor’s ___, with the casual enthusiasm of a folk singer performing one of his favorite ___. (C) (a)pitfall..recitals (b)glory..chorals (c)nightmare..ballads (d)delight..chanteys (e)routine..composers
Note: a folk singer ? ballads
注意:1.无用分隔,分隔中或分隔前均无空格出现,不需阅读。
2.分隔结构出现在主从句中,则先跳过分隔,分析出真正的主从句关系。
二、粘连:重复信息出现在上下两句中,或是一个句子内部的直接、简单的重复。上下两句指用分号或冒号(及逗号)分开的两个完整的句子。句子内部的重复如指示代词和指代对象的重复。 ? 上下两句:
1.双重否定句型:It's wrong/ foolish/ presumptuous to say/ suggest that..
The struggle of the generation is one of the obvious constants of human affairs; therefore, it may be presumptuous to suggest that the rivalry batten young and old in western society during the current decade is ___ critical. (C)
(a)perennially (b)disturbingly (c)uniquely (d)archetypal (e)cautiously
Note: the struggle of generation -- constant ? the rivalry between young and old -- uniquely (= not constantly)
2.主动句变被动句型:A ? B; B ? by A.或 is the result/ outgrowth/ product of A.
An investigation that is __ can occasionally yield new facts, even notable ones; typically the appearance of such facts is the result of a research in a definite direction. (b)
(a)timely (b)unguided (c)consistent (d)uncomplicated (e)subjective Note: in a definite direction ?? unguided 3.比较句:
1)上下两次比较句:比较双方不产生变化,同义重复。to the same degree, as...as,matter neither more nor less than
Although scientists claim that the seemingly ___ language of their reports is more precise than the figurative language of fiction, the language of science, like all language, is inherently ___. (d)
(a)ornamental..subtle (b)unidimensional..unintelligible (c)symbolic..complex (d)literal..allusive (e)subjective..metaphorical Note: figurative ?? literal
2)一次比较结构:比较双方构成反义重复。
In most native Amercian cultures, an article used in prayer or ritual is made with extraordinary attention to
and richness of details: it is decorated more ___ than a similar article intended for ___ use. (e)
(a)delicately..vocational (b)colorfully..festive (c)creatively..religious (d)subtly..commercial (e)lavishly..everyday
Note: article used in prayer and ritual ? article intended for everyday use 4.手段目的关系:by/ in term of...for/ by
1)选取词义的同义词或上义词。
Social tensions among adult faction can be ___ by politics, but adolescents and children have no such __ for resolving their conflict with the exclusive world of adults.
(a)intensified..attitude (b)complicated..relief (c)frustrated..justification (d)adjusted..mechanism (e)revealed..opportunity
Note: resolving their conflict ? Social tensions can be adjusted 2)一次目的关系:手段动词与目的名词对应重复。
The natural balance between prey and predator is increasingly __ , most frequently by human intervention.
(a)celebrated (b)predicted (c)observed (d)disturbed (e)questioned Note: natural balance is __ by human intervenetion. 5.特殊并列句:两个从句同时担当句子的一个成分。
解题在两个并列从句里推理。
The poet W.H.Auden believed that the greatest poets of his age were almost necessarily irresponsible, that the possession of great gifts __ the __ to abuse them.
(a)negate..temptation (b)controls..resolution (c)engenders..propensity (d)tempers..proclivity (e)obviates..inclination
Note: the greatest poets of his age – the possession of great gifts; irresponsible – to abuse them. 6.时间对比型:时间相反,则对称成分相反;时间相同,则对称成分相应。 once, formerly, initial, pristine, erstwhile, hereto, hithero, now, future, begin, start, create, until, no longer
注意:no longer,修饰限定的对象是过去的动作和状态。 until强调之前之后的截然对比,即反义。
Before about 1960, virtually all accounts of evolution assumed most adaptation to be a product of selection at the level of populations; recent studies of evolution, however, have found no __ this __ view of selection. (a)departures from..controversial (b)basis for..pervasive (c)bias toward..unchallenged (d)precursors of..innovative (e)criticism of..renowned Note: before about 1960 ?? recent studies ? 句子内部重复:
7.小连接:连词两端为对称的两个形容词、动词、副词或不定式结构。 小连接直接利用连词两端推理。
? 照应:句子中直接点明的重复手法,如人称代词,指示代词、定冠词。 选取重复部分的相同词。
? 主体词汇:一个句中起到题眼作用的词。
1)主体动词:continue, remain表递进;shift, oscillate, turn to, reconcile表反面转折 2)表人物身份的名词
3)描述人或事物性质或特征的词。
? 判断句,如“The minuet appeared simple”
? 词组:regard...as或view/consider/label/portray...as ? 物主代词加特征性格或特征动作,如“his intransigence” ? Of结构作后置定语,如“a critic of vanity”

一、文章的结构类型和主题句
主题句(Topic Sentence):表达文章中心思想或关注对象。
1.结论说明型:开始结论,后面解释说明。 TS:文章开端处。 2.新老观点型:老观点(错) --> 新观点(对)。 TS:新观点提出处。 3.现象解释型:开始现象,后面解释。 TS:解释出现处。
4.问题回答型:开始给出问题(Question)、或困难(Difficult)或任务(Task),后面解答。 TS:最终答案处。 5.特殊类型:前半属于通常题型,后半无关内容。 TS: 从前不从后,从大不从小。
TS提示点:
1.一段叙述后出现转折词。 2.设问及其回答。
3.大段举例之前的观点或大段举例之后的总结。
二、文章阅读原则及技巧
(一)原文阅读原则(三要素原则):
1.判断文章的结构类型。
2.作者主要叙述对象(focus)。 3.作者对叙述对象的评价。
(二)原文的语言点:
1.转折连词
(1)简单转折连词:
1- nevertheless, nonetheless
2- in fact, indeed, virtually, actually, practically (2)重要的转折连词:
1- however,最常用,高度注意
2- but, yet,1.出现在段首,引出新观点;2.出现在一个理论和现象说完之后,引出新观点。 3- although,强调后半句。
(3)转折连词出现在一连串原因后,引出最重要的原因。 2.原因、结论:therefore, hence, thus, conclude 3.强对比关系
(1)简单明示对比:A, unlike B;C, in contrast to, is (2)时间状语强对比:出题点 (3)强对比变体
对比原文和含有强对比的具体细节题,如果原文,选项可能正确;否则错误。
1- 最高级:负面least,排序first,频率always, never,程度uttermost, foremost,范围all, none, any。 2- 惟一性词汇:only, sole, unique 4.人名,高度注意。 5.引号:
1- 引用表示focus。 2- 引号表示负评价。
6.小修饰词:seem, appear, probably, perhaps,弱化作者结论 7.限定性语气:表示作者有保留意见。
表示正确性的限定性修饰词:qualified(限定,保留), guarded, tempered, partially, tentative(权且),reluctant(不完全),critically
(三)阅读重点
1.文章结构,作者focus及态度、评价。
2.首段和各段首句,注意起承转合(顺接或转折关系)。 3.笔记:定位 TS,新观点,
判断句,虚拟语气,强对比,强转折,最高级,唯一性,比较级, 列举,
大写名词,时间,地点,人名。
三、典型题型
(一)主题题型:对文章的中心思想进行发问的题目。
1.main idea及primary purpose 解题思路:
(1)TS和选项对照,语气、内容相符。 (2)选项中态度描述应与原文一致。 (3)选项引导动词:
Presentation文章:present, describe, explain, illustrate, point out。不含主体动词的选项是错误的。 Argumentation文章:evaluate, criticize, refute, challenge, counter, correct。含主体动词的选项是正确的。
2.文章叙述对象focus
题干句型为 Which of the following best describes/summarizes the passage? ...the main content of the passage... ...the focus of the passage... 填出主动词的宾语 解题思路:
(1)TS关注什么,文章focus什么。
(2)结合文章结构层次(organization)分析。
主题题型注意事项: (1)把握主题;
